What the Heck is a Counter Shutter?

A counter shutter is just a rolling shutter that does not go all the way to the floor. Typically, a counter shutter is on the inside of a commercial or public building; however, they can also be mounted on an outdoor kiosk or an outbuilding such as a high school concession shed. Because commercial shutters have so many moving parts, they cannot be 100% leak proof. They are designed to take the brunt of a driving rain, but water will trickle past the shutter curtain or the side rails.

Some people may also consider storefront security gates that do not go all the way to the floor to be counter shutters and the full height shutters covering the door right next to the knee high windows to be storefront shutters. So, a counter shutter can be almost any height and does not have to stop at the ‘counter top.”

The most common reference to counter shutters is in pharmacies. You often hear the term, “pharmacy shutter” when referring to a counter shutter. QMI Security Solutions, from Itasca (Chicago) Illinois basically created the modern day pharmacy shutter. Back in 1988, one of the QMI owners was filling a prescription and noticed the large coiling overhead door over the counter and realized the QMI security and storm shutters were a much better application for pharmacies. They made a few modifications to their existing shutter design, developed an easy to use slide lock system in the base slat, and now QMI is the supplier for the top five pharmacy chains in North America. Every pharmacy that has ever purchased QMI counter shutters continues to be a customer to this day. The quick manufacturing turnaround and customization to meet the pharmacy’s designs, plus excellent service keeps QMI as the “vendor of choice” for counter shutters, storefront security gates, and ProductSafe® cases.

A beautiful use of QMI counter shutters was incorporating the perforated slat curtains into a See’s Candy permanent kiosk inside the San Francisco airport. While open, the shutters disappear from view and expose the boxes of candy to passersby. When closed, the perforated shutters are lowered and key locked into place. The interior lights are left on, so the candy is still viewable and smell-able, yet the candy boxes and cash register are well protected behind the series of counter shutters.

Go to QMIand scroll down to see pictures of the See’s Candy kiosk. The kiosk is curved, so five single shutters are used to facet around the curve.

cat bed

Last night, my husband brought home a white kitten for our son. But since I have no experience in taking care of it, I decided to search the Internet on how to take care of a cat. There I have learned the basic cat care to guide me in handling the said cat by using the Cat carriers.

I became well-informed on what Cat Food is best to feed the cat. The use of liter box for its food is essential to maintain its cleanliness.There are different types of Litter Boxes to choose from. The use of litter box liner is favorable for easy clean up. I was amazed at the special features of Cat Beds I am planning to buy a comfortable cat bed for my son’s pet.

For the cat’s protection, I make sure to bring the cat in a veterinarian to be able to monitor the health of our pet.
